This is beautiful. And so much easier said than done. I look forward to sharing this article with my colleagues.

This sense of belonging is so important. A sense of belonging is crucial to our life satisfaction, happiness, mental and physical health and even longevity. It gives us a sense of purpose and meaning.

This a part that I feel many schools fail to include in to that concept of "thinking together". Too often decisions are made from the top and are not informed by those who most affected by the decision made.

Maintaining relationships is what takes hard work and it is often the part that gets neglected.

This is very important to consider in dreating documentation.

I agree, This feels important, but the word "new" makes me wonder how to we continue to introduce new things and keep a rotating interest or topic "new".

I think this consideration is an important one for this topic of exploring cities. Additionally, considering the rights of a citizen is important here because it can help you determine what sort of things you need in a city to support their rights.

Documentation keeps us engaged, intentional, and reflective.

Documentation helps supports educators in their reflection process.

Provides an opportunity to dive deeper in to systems, concepts, ideas, and thoughts!

This helps me make more sense of the schools I have worked at that utilize the Reggio Emilia approach. These (two) schools call their inclusion of Reggio Emilia concepts and framework an approach because it is in no way an exact replica but instead they have adapted it in to a model that works for their school, population, and community.

Inviting children to engage and learn through intentionally created provocations is a crucial part of the learning process in a Reggio classroom. Provocations should be an educators response to what they're observing and interpretations/understanding they gather through observation.

This reminds me of Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model, which can be applied to child development. The model represents his theory that growth is a product of the interaction between the individual and their environment.

Many people refer to children as future citizens rather than acknowledging their present citizenship and the rights that come with it.

The practice of learning is lifelong. It is crucial we as educators engage in this process to continue to grow and adapt to the ever changing world around us.
